Minnewaska Area Elementary and Intermediate Newsletter
Principal's Corner
As the temperature has dipped below 0 already, we're reminded of winter weather and possible snow delays, early outs and actual snow days. It is always our goal to ensure student safety getting to and from school. For families who have contact information current in School Messenger, a 2 hour late start or snow day, you can expect a call from our district around 6:00 a.m. If you have a question whether you have information current on School Messenger, please contact our offices. New this year, we have planned out E-Learning experiences for students already and have sent hard copies home. We are working for materials to be posted to our website shortly as well.
Inside this issue we have a variety of opportunities to be aware of. Make sure to mark your calendars to attend our holiday programs. The Angel Tree and Coat Drive information works to assist our families who need further support. Please review information below and contact our offices if we can support you or others.
